Samsung looks to be hard at work on its new tablet which could be the world's thinnest.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 leaked last month in photos showing it with the metal frame of the Galaxy S6. Now specs for the tablet have appeared online including dimensions which would make it the world's thinnest slate.

According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0, as it's named, will be 198 x 134 x 5.4mm and weigh just 260g. That makes it thinner than Dell's Venue 8 7000 which is just 6mm thick.

Other specs for the 8-inch tablet include screen resolution which is reported to come in at 1,536 x 1,048. There should also be a larger 9.7-inch version of the tablet although the screen resolution hasn't been leaked for that, yet.
